This isn't an "annoyance" but I find it interesting.

At least once a month I have someone come up to me in the gym and ask if I play(ed) volleyball. Today I had two people ask me. I took volleyball as a PE in college and I played a few intramural games, but that's it. I'm just wondering what makes me look like I played volleyball and not basketball or softball (the sports I actually played)?

booty shorts

7/28/2014 3:44:35 PM

because you're tall and white

7/28/2014 3:44:37 PM

tall pretty girls - volleyball
tall manish girls - basketball

7/28/2014 3:44:48 PM

^^Haha yeah I guess it it that simple

[Edited on July 28, 2014 at 3:46 PM. Reason : I don't think I wear booty shorts to the gym]

Or maybe it's code for "want to go hook up in the locker room?" or "do you have any drugs?" that we don't know about.

Gotta start going back to the gym with beegees

My gym in downtown Winston-Salem (The Rush) just got bought out (along with all the other Rush gyms) by Gold's Gym

That goddamn "Baby I'm Worth It" song.

7/21/2015 8:30:09 PM

is that the one that sounds like it was out of Oil Ocean Zone in Sonic the Hedgehog 2?

7/21/2015 9:59:54 PM

i don't know, let me find an autistic man-child who actually remembers sonic music to ask

HEY BUBBLEB--oh that's just mean, i'm not going to post that

7/22/2015 7:46:45 AM

You know what annoys me about work?

Having to work.

7/22/2015 9:55:33 AM

That is not relevant to this thread.

This. I mean, I suppose you have the right to run the treadmill at any available setting - but fuck you, I hate you.

And just loud, background pop music in general, especially when it's a small corporate gym for the office complex filled mainly with middle aged men who all have headphones in anyways.

I'm about to gtfo of this job. I was hired by one branch, but to get the funding they convinced two other branches to split my salary. Now I essentially have three direct supervisors but they all hate each other, won't communicate (and if they do it's nasty), and they try to play me against the other two. Since I "owe" them all something, I'm essentially doing three jobs, but only getting paid for one. In fact, I'm making the same I was making in grad school but in order to get promoted I have to keep all three (again, who hate each other and have totally competing goals) happy, which I'm just seeing is not going to happen no matter what I do.

but do you lift bro?

8/25/2015 2:44:14 PM

the other day, these three little kids (like under 13) were being loud, and fucking around on the treadmill next to me, running it at full blast and sprinting on it, and clanging the weights on this pulley-based machine up and down.

jeez, don't leave your kids unsupervised at a gym if they're not going to comport themselves considerately.

Having a conversation on your bluetooth while working out. I watched a grown man doing preacher curls while on the phone the other day.

Also I forgot about Bane masks, that trend from a few years ago when people briefly thought you'd get a better workout by restricting your airflow. Maybe the guy today was wearing it ironically.

Gyms that buy a large piece of equipment with a single punching bag on it. It only inspires idiots to attempt some kind of loud boxing workout.

The 32 oz lemon lime Gatorade bottle on the side of the road that is full of piss started as clear now it's tea

9/8/2018 7:06:04 PM

Did everyone on TWW go to the same gym in 2010?

9/8/2018 7:39:12 PM

Saw a lady doing a single-leg press (or something similar) on the assisted pull-up machine... It wouldn't have bothered me if she'd done like 1 or 2 reps and then figured out she wasn't using the machine right, but she did no less than 3 sets on each leg. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time.

Dudes that bring a bag of talcum powder.

^^^Women have found ways to use virtually all the machines in the gym to work out their glutes.

And we judge the effectiveness of these exercises based on how our butts feel in the following days.


If we weren't so self-conscious, we'd be doing way weirder stuff than adapting the pull-up machine for silly butt exercises.

^ No different than the dudes who blast their biceps for 20 minutes and call it quits.

Have equipment hoarders been mentioned yet?

11/5/2018 7:10:49 PM

Most every piece of equipment in the gym is actually for biceps

11/5/2018 7:23:35 PM

No more arm days this month. Gym is full of dudes that only know curls.
